Call to change exam times to help Muslim students fasting during Ramadan

A UNION chief from Bolton has called for exam boards to review the timetabling of A-level and GCSE exams to consider the impact of Ramadan on Muslim students.

Barry Lingard, who is also on the Association of Teachers and Lectures (ATL) Executive, suggested that big exams could be scheduled for the morning only so results are not jeopardised as a result of fasting.

He said over the next few years, the holy month, which Muslims observe by fasting, will increasingly fall during the exams period, which could affect teenager’s results.

Mr Lingard told the union’s annual conference in Manchester that ATL had been in discussions with the Joint Council for Qualifications, which represents exam boards — and Muslim organisations — over the issue.

Proposing a resolution on the topic Mr Lingard said it was Whighly unlikelyW that exam boards will change summer timetables.

Mr Lingard said: “We are in cycle that over the next few years, Ramadan will fall in the middle of the exams season, this year it will be at the tail end.

“Some schools are more aware of this than others.

“Schools such as Essa and Smithills have always done their best for Muslim students, and talks are already taking place with exam boards about discussions about what can be changed — maybe having the big exams in the morning.”

Delegates passed the resolution, which called on the union to raise awareness of the potential impact of Ramadan on Muslim students’ education.

Fitly it is allowed to change the times when a pupil or a set of pupils take an exam. It is frowned upon but not against the rules!

Reasons for changing can range from religion, as in this case, through to hospital appointments, clashes with other exams etc etc etc

It is frowned upon because it does mean extra work for the teachers/invigilator
s due to the fact that a teacher/invigilator, has to stay with the pupil(s) all thee time and make sure they do not attempt to make any communication with those who have taken the exam! Even if it is overnight!!!

This is basically a non-story and seems to be trying to create a controversy when there isn't one!!!

See he racial hatred flowing through some of these comments and yet, as I have already stated, moving exams is actually straight forward and happens all the time for the most mundane reasons never mind religious reasons!!!

Yes, if needs be the exams could be changed to suit Roman Catholocism or Church of England needs or Jewish needs, or even Jedi needs!

this is nothing new and has been happening for decades so why get worked up over it?

It isn't all day. It is from sunrise to sunset and depending upon what time of year Ramadan falls on it could be a few hour to 12-13 hours!

Lets not forget that it is not just the Muslim faith that has a period of fasting. Within the various Christian religious' we are meant to fast during daylight hours of Lent and also lets not forget that the Jewish faith of Passover also requires a period of fasting during daylight hours!!

It isn't uncommon as one may think!

How is it bending over backwards when changing the time of any exam has been permitted for many various mundane or non-mundane reasons for many decades.

I know people who have had the time of their exam changed due to overlaps with over exams.

If a child can not perform during the day because of forced fasting then it is child abuse, no food or fluids even on a hot day is child abuse.

But the fasting happens in all religion just some families are more religious than others!!

But to say it is child cruelty is beyond a joke! Religion play a massive part in many families of all religious creeds and many of these religions do have fasting as part of their scriptures of which many of these families take part in. Not just Muslim or Christian or Jewish.

Also according to the law religious fasting, under the direction of the leaders of the religion (such as papal scriptures) is not child abuse!!

Are they?

Where in the bible does it say that they are excluded from fasting?

Were in the law does it say that children are excluded from fasting?

Lets not forget, here that Ramadan is not the same every year (yes, I know that Easter is not the same time each year but set within a 2 month period) it is occurs every 9 months so in some years there can be to period of Ramadan. Again unlike in Christianity where Lent is for 44 days Maundy Thursday through to Easter Sunday (although most people say it is only 40!!!) Ramadan only lasts between 29 and 30 day - all dependent upon the moon cycle!

So basically our period of Lent is far worse than the period of Ramadan given all considerations - and before people start saying well we don't do it anymore, maybe not but there are still some very religious families that still follow the Bible and the Christian scriptures as gospel for life!!!

Children are excluded from fasting unless they choose to do so.
So it's all down to choice unless the parent enforces it ;)

You're on the right track, there are quite a number of exclusions, the fast can be broken - the "penalty" is to give the poor a proper meal to eat. A worthy penalty?

Are they?

Where in the bible does it say that they are excluded from fasting?

Were in the law does it say that children are excluded from fasting?

Lets not forget, here that Ramadan is not the same every year (yes, I know that Easter is not the same time each year but set within a 2 month period) it is occurs every 9 months so in some years there can be to period of Ramadan. Again unlike in Christianity where Lent is for 44 days Maundy Thursday through to Easter Sunday (although most people say it is only 40!!!) Ramadan only lasts between 29 and 30 day - all dependent upon the moon cycle!

So basically our period of Lent is far worse than the period of Ramadan given all considerations - and before people start saying well we don't do it anymore, maybe not but there are still some very religious families that still follow the Bible and the Christian scriptures as gospel for life!!!

And now this new perversion of our traditions, laws and our constitution, what a joke we all are for being afraid to question, why? Creeping sharia and islam is why, and both leave a very bitter taste in my mouth!

1. they never changed the animal welfare.

Did you know that Kosher meat is more barbaric that Halal? In Halal the anima is given a prayer before being shocked and then the throat slit whilst in Kosher meat there is no prayer and the animal throat is slit whilst still conscious - so why are you not more abhorrent about kosher meat???

2. How many motorcyclist couriers enter places with their helmets still on? How many people, during the winter months enter their place of work with the majority of their faces covered by a scarf?

4 School rules?(boys) Each school have their different set of rules - there are no universal set of rules for schools, plus in the majority of circumstances it is down to each individual case - that has never changed!

5. Again school rules (girls) - see point 4. As it is more and more schools accept girls wearing trousers as part of the uniform, which is far different than 30 years ago when no school allowed them!! Has nothing to do with religion but certain "jimmy Saville" type people around that prey on such things!

6. Every school has to follow the their own rules and the legal rules with regards to time off and there are many exceptions and some heads do turn a bind eye - nothing to do with religion!

7. ALL Banks do allow to borrow money and pay interest but some banks, according to their religious laws, have to word it differently as so not t upset their religious backers! Such as interest becomes profit and that profit is then re-invested into "buying"

8. Student loans - again it is in the wording as ALL student loans do pay interest but, again due to religious backers, some of the wording is different to work-around the religious laws.

9. Most of Sharia law is the same as Jewish law and Christian laws - in fact I would go as far as saying that 90% of it is the same, especially if you read all the texts surrounding it, considering all 3 religions originate from the same part of the world - and lets not forget that British law is basically made up from The Bible and Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

I think you'll find your wrong again, meat is deemed haraam if stunning is involved in any way. In the UK there are two regulators of lawful meat, the 'halal food authority' (HFA) and the 'halal monitoring committee' (HMC) and only the meat that is passed by the HMC is deemed halal, as it isn't stunned. The HFA claim that the meat they pass is stunned which renders it haraam to every muslim, thats what we buy in our supermarkets. So get your facts right!

I think you'll also find that the legislation demands that animals be stunned before they are killed - by electrocution, gassing, or shooting retractable rods into their brains - but there are exemptions for animals to be killed according to muslim traditions, without stunning them first.

I worked in the middle east thru the ramadan period and learned one or 2 things. Firstly, children do not need to fast. They can choose to give up somthing else like their mobile fone or cinima visits etc. Secondly whilst ramadan is a peroid of time during the year, it can be taken at another time. For example. A pregnant woman will not fast during ramadan but will fast at a later period. Therefore do we really need to move these exams when there are alternatives within the muslim culture.

As for Halal meat, there was a report on this about 2 months ago on both BBC Breakfast and BBC NWT that showed how they treat their animal for slaughter and the differences between Halal and Kosher (which previously I assumed were done the same way). Kosher meat is far more inhumane that Halal and yet no one ever says anything it, why not? Frightened of upsetting the Jewish faith?

And with regards to Islamic loans etc etc etc I actually dealt with quite a few of these during my time when I worked for a high street bank!

What basically happens is that the "bank2 buy the product, puts it in the name of the person/company wanting it and rents it to the company - that way any profit is not against their religion and the banks has money coming in, including interest, and has security to recover the losses when if anything went belly-up.

In fact, to be frankly honest, it is a much safer system than our current "gambling" method of banking!!! Even the Pope thinks it is better, and I never thought I would ever agree with that religious despot!!

In fact quite a few sects of the community were, and still are if requested, allowed to be covered whilst at court.

Lets not forget, here that Ramadan is not the same every year (yes, I know that Easter is not the same time each year but set within a 2 month period) it is occurs every 9 months so in some years there can be to period of Ramadan.

1. they never changed the animal welfare.

Did you know that Kosher meat is more barbaric that Halal? In Halal the anima is given a prayer before being shocked and then the throat slit whilst in Kosher meat there is no prayer and the animal throat is slit whilst still conscious - so why are you not more abhorrent about kosher meat???

2. How many motorcyclist couriers enter places with their helmets still on? How many people, during the winter months enter their place of work with the majority of their faces covered by a scarf?

4 School rules?(boys) Each school have their different set of rules - there are no universal set of rules for schools, plus in the majority of circumstances it is down to each individual case - that has never changed!

5. Again school rules (girls) - see point 4. As it is more and more schools accept girls wearing trousers as part of the uniform, which is far different than 30 years ago when no school allowed them!! Has nothing to do with religion but certain "jimmy Saville" type people around that prey on such things!

6. Every school has to follow the their own rules and the legal rules with regards to time off and there are many exceptions and some heads do turn a bind eye - nothing to do with religion!

7. ALL Banks do allow to borrow money and pay interest but some banks, according to their religious laws, have to word it differently as so not t upset their religious backers! Such as interest becomes profit and that profit is then re-invested into "buying"

8. Student loans - again it is in the wording as ALL student loans do pay interest but, again due to religious backers, some of the wording is different to work-around the religious laws.

9. Most of Sharia law is the same as Jewish law and Christian laws - in fact I would go as far as saying that 90% of it is the same, especially if you read all the texts surrounding it, considering all 3 religions originate from the same part of the world - and lets not forget that British law is basically made up from The Bible and Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

> "Did you know that Kosher meat is more barbaric that Halal? In Halal the anima is given a prayer before being shocked and then the throat slit whilst in Kosher meat there is no prayer and the animal throat is slit whilst still conscious"

Laughing my tits off at the idea that a prayer makes a difference when stabbing a sheep to death.

Did you know that Kosher meat is more barbaric that Halal? In Halal the anima is given a prayer before being shocked and then the throat slit whilst in Kosher meat there is no prayer and the animal throat is slit whilst still conscious - so why are you not more abhorrent about kosher meat???

2. How many motorcyclist couriers enter places with their helmets still on? How many people, during the winter months enter their place of work with the majority of their faces covered by a scarf?

4 School rules?(boys) Each school have their different set of rules - there are no universal set of rules for schools, plus in the majority of circumstances it is down to each individual case - that has never changed!

5. Again school rules (girls) - see point 4. As it is more and more schools accept girls wearing trousers as part of the uniform, which is far different than 30 years ago when no school allowed them!! Has nothing to do with religion but certain "jimmy Saville" type people around that prey on such things!

6. Every school has to follow the their own rules and the legal rules with regards to time off and there are many exceptions and some heads do turn a bind eye - nothing to do with religion!

7. ALL Banks do allow to borrow money and pay interest but some banks, according to their religious laws, have to word it differently as so not t upset their religious backers! Such as interest becomes profit and that profit is then re-invested into "buying"

8. Student loans - again it is in the wording as ALL student loans do pay interest but, again due to religious backers, some of the wording is different to work-around the religious laws.

9. Most of Sharia law is the same as Jewish law and Christian laws - in fact I would go as far as saying that 90% of it is the same, especially if you read all the texts surrounding it, considering all 3 religions originate from the same part of the world - and lets not forget that British law is basically made up from The Bible and Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

Laughing my tits off at the idea that a prayer makes a difference when stabbing a sheep to death.

Ok this is the scenario .... Your hanging upside down by one leg absolutely terrified ... The executioner says he is going to slit your throat, then gives you a choice, you can be stunned or He can shout a prayer down your earhole .....enough said ! !
